SANARY-SUR-MER, FRANCE

                              The rarest thing on the Côte d’Azur is a working
                              fishing town. On tiny Embiez island offshore
                              is an environmental winery created by the
                              heir  of the Ricard pastis company, with strict

                              conservation policies.



                              PORTOFERRAIO, ITALY
                              Though small, Elba has been known since the
                              beginnings of recorded history – prized by empire
                              after empire for its rich soil and abundance of

                              minerals and gems. Napoleon’s famous exile in
                              the 1800s still bears signs of his stay here, yet the
                              largely agricultural island is serene and timeless.



                              PORTOVENERE (CINQUE TERRE), ITALY
                              The “Golfo dei Poeti,” inspired Dante, Petrarch,

                              Byron and Shelley with ancient houses and a
                              dominant 12th-century citadel. Explore the
                              grotto where Byron pondered, or climb the
                              castle beside St. Peter’s church for a view of the

                              Cinque Terre villages.


                              GIBRALTAR, BRITISH OVERSEAS TERRITORY

                              Fabled to be one of the Pillars of Hercules
                              that marked the edge of the world, “The Rock”
                              of Gibraltar is a towering monolith of limestone

                              and marble with natural caves, manmade
                              tunnels and geological significance. Its position
                              between Africa and Europe makes for a
                              fascinating history.
